Tom's Tweets
·TomCrouser: Am on vacation. Thought: happy hour is why I get out of bed every afternoon. (on a Woody’s T Shirt, St. John’s)
·TomCrouser: Solve problems with enthusiasm; but don’t let enthusiasm blind you to facts. (Leadership Madness) It’s leadership; not cheerleadership.
·TomCrouser: New cities for my seminar tour in July-Sept: Orlando, Tallahassee, Atlanta and Memphis. Hope to see you there. www.crouser.com to register.
·TomCrouser: @edcrouser thanks bucko. Just found this. Luv you!
·TomCrouser: Went to training where they referred to salespeople as anyone who is a producer. Interesting? Are you a producer? Not all salespeople are.
·TomCrouser: A boss without humor is a job without fun. R people in your business having fun? R they enthusiastically following? Or R U having to push?
·TomCrouser: In Denver traffic and remembered: is your business coasting? Remember, you only can coast downhill. (Tim VanDerKamp). Do something about it.
·TomCrouser: Survival Plan: eliminate waste, increase productivity, budget for positive cash flow and compete for business. Sell something to someone.
·TomCrouser: “Teamwork is doing what I say.” Put this on T-shirts for last winter’s CPrint conference in St. Thomas. Don’t know origin but like it eh?
·TomCrouser: Bizs have habits like people. Does your biz sell something to someone every day, not just take orders. Create demand for existing capacity?

CPrinters Participate in Sales Call Reluctance® Training
Crouser Online Report

CPrint® President Tom Crouser along with sixteen other CPrinters participated in the Fear Free Prospecting and Self Promotion Workshop™ presented by Behavioral Science Research Press in Dallas (Addison) April 28-29, 2009. The workshop is an outgrowth of the work done by George W. Dudley and Shannon L. Goodson as published in their book, “The Psychology of Sales Call Reluctance®: Earning What You’re Worth in Sales,” and it helps individuals identify and rectify forms of Inhibited Initial Contact Syndrome as it applies to selling.


Pictured is Jacqui Calder, psychologist and Behavioral Science Research Press instructor. Shown studying (seated from the right) are Tom Crouser, CPrint® president, Sue Kessel of Chatham Print & Imaging in Chatham, New Jersey and partially hidden on the left side of Jacqui is Mark Troy, Dairyland Printing in Viroqua, Wisconsin.

“Specifically, said Crouser, “all sales training including ours has been focused on what to do after the contact has been made, but we’re finding more and more evidence that the contact just isn’t being made in the first place. That requires all of us to have a better understanding of why, which has led us to this important work.”

"Joe is extremely active in our community, from his involvement with the Chamber to his support of the Commonwealth Health Foundation," said Chamber Chairman Todd Davis.

He sets an example of what a small business leader should be."

The Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce has awarded a member of the community with the "Small Business Person of the Year" honor since 1985. This award recognizes a community member who owns and operates a for-profit company that employs 100 or fewer full-time employees, who has invested his or her own money in that small business, who has experienced recent business growth, and who is involved in the development and growth of the Bowling Green community.

The Secret of Their Success
Crouser Online Report

John Bond, left, and Johathan, right, are presented a sales award by Tom Crouser, president of CPrint International.

Bond Printing is featured in Plymouth County Business Magazine’s April/May edition. The four page article tracks the company’s journey from struggling young business to a successful and growing concern, providing prosperity and satisfying careers to two generations of the Bond family.

Company owner Jon Bond attributes much of their success to their involvement with CPrint® saying, “[F]rankly, we would be out of business had we not gotten involved in the group. It not only has helped us immeasurably with our business, but we have seen how other print company owners have managed to build a quality to their personal lives while growing their companies.”

Thanks to what Jon Bond and his son Jonathan learned from CPrint® about selling, the company was able grow sales 14% in 2008, in spite of a decline in sales to one of their top clients, a real estate company.
